Interesting story. Katie is the Wilson to my House. We knew that. I'm all in to emergency medicine because I like the skill needed for the diagnosing and the variety of the patients and I'd totally do Diagnostics if there was such a department, because that (and trauma) is the reason I've had my heart set on working in the ER for more than half a decade. She's into oncology. We've been watching that The Cherry Orchard movie of the Chekov play, and day before yesterday (and yesterday also) were sitting in these computer chair things and I pulled over one of those crappy plastic school chairs and we put our feet up on it in synch (not even planning/trying to or anything) just like House and Wilson in 2.16 "Safe". And we both realized that we did it, and there was laughing.

Was trying to help Katie fix her glasses case when it broke, and she was like "This is a crazy picture. Here we are, two of the smartest people in the school, standing in the hallway fiddling with a glasses case." That made me all warm and fuzzy inside. As I very often feel like a blathering idiot next to her, as I'm not used to ~~knowing anybody~~ having friends smarter than me.

"Scuttlebutt has it that you and Thumper messed it up in the parallel." Does that sound like a better euphemism for sex than it is for fighting to anyone else?

Amy Lee in the "Call Me When You're Sober" video looks much better when her hair isn't in the headband. She's still really pretty. I heard she was a bitch, though, from somebody who met her at one of the concerts back before she was big (a concert I really wanted to go to, but it's in the shit part of town across the river and I was like 12, so my mom was like no) which sort of dissapointed me. I'm not a fan of mean people. The music is very obviously different without Ben Moody. And the guy in the video sort of looked like Wolverine (there were also wolves in the video, so maybe he was supposed to). Kinda hot.

Watching some kind of Oprah episode about menopause. (When I first wrote this, I was. Internet got turned off in the middle of my typing last night/this morning without me realizing it, so I'm posting it now.) I just had left the TV on after Cheno was on Leno, and then happened to look up and see Geena Davis and then shortly after a clip of Sela Ward (Who was talking about sex, but I still had it muted, so I don’t know what she said. And I’m really curious.) Which is when I started watching, because yay, Sela. The doctor lady was just like “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it,” it being sex (which I didn’t know at all. Interesting.) and then goes on to mention how masturbation works just fine too if you’re by yourself, and Geena’s all *nods*. I laughed. Yay, mental images. Geena’s hot for being older than my mom. (Less hot now that I’m comparing her to my mom. But still very good looking. I’d do her.)

Kate and her agent friend Marcy on NCIS episode 1.03 “Seadog” act like ex-girlfriends. The cut-short hug and sorta distanced conversation and all.

My spanish teacher pre-cog thing has continued. Last year I had this dream that I had to do CPR on my spanish teacher in the middle of class, the next morning she left school having chest pains (she was fine, though). Had a dream a couple of nights ago, lots of crazy stuff in there, but new spanish teacher sang. That morning, we started talking about how the orphan/poor kids sing the lottery numbers in Spain, and he demonstrated. Pretty nuts.

My hard drive is really full. I've been cleaning stuff and shrinking stuff and saving stuff temporarily to the main computer's hard drive, but I've got to get the stuff off the main computer, and as it stands, I've only got 778MB left. Gonna have to start burning episode type things off of it. I didn't want to because I was afraid that disks would get scratched up and I wouldn't have them anymore, but I'm going to have to chance it. Problem is that the stuff is so big that I'll have to burn them onto DVD disks, which are sorta expensive, especially because I want to make at least one extra copy to hide somewhere as a backup.

Found old speakers and hooked them up to my computer today, so no more watching stuff while trying to bend down far enough so that your headphone cord reaches the back of the computer. Not enough power slots, though, so I had to unplug my scanner. Oh well. I'm pretty sure the scanner doesn't work anymore anyway. Dad insists that it does, but last time I tried it wouldn't.

Amnesty cluster meeting tomorrow. Yay for that. Going to have to convince one of my parents to leave my sister's soccer game early to drive me down there. Not going to be easy. They're just going to want me to be late, but I don't want to be late, as that would be bad.

In My Internet there's a list of blog-type things for each of your classes (where the teachers post assignment sheets and handouts and reminders and stuff) and things like that.

Ooh. Your school is quite technologically advanced, compared to mine. My teachers are all morons and can barely figure out how to upload grades to this website thing (and most of them only do it the once a term that the principals make them).

The thing I was referring to before is the Personal Files Box, which is where you can upload files from your school or home folders.

Urgh, that's wicked. I have to email stuff back and forth. It would really be nice if we had that.

We don't have nearly enough download space to download episodes, so I am only able to use the ones Rachell burns to disc for me.

Hee, it's handy that you have people to do that.

When Rachell does it you can go into the disc and there's a folder called 'ORIGINAL' and it's the whole episode there in one piece, so I can simply copy and paste into my file, and then import into Movie Maker.

That's somewhat strange. In a folder called 'original'? When I burn stuff, it's not in a folder but rather right on the disk. But yeah, in one piece. When your mum does it, it splits the file into bits?

My teachers are all morons

Overall, the teachers at our school are pretty great. But there are a few who are just... yeah.

I have to email stuff back and forth

That'd get annoying, especially because email can be unreliable sometimes. Mind you, I'm sure this Personal Files Box isn't entirely perfect itself. So let us just pretend I didn't say anything.

it's handy that you have people to do that.

*nods* She's my peeps.

When your mum does it, it splits the file into bits?

Yup. Exactly.

Mind you, I'm sure this Personal Files Box isn't entirely perfect itself. So let us just pretend I didn't say anything.

Can anybody else access it? I mean, I assume the teachers and such can. Or maybe not, because perhaps you still have rights over there.

I'm always worried that I'll walk away and it won't have logged me off of email and somebody will smeg up my account. Because that happened in like 7th grade when I was in the school library and I was bored so I was playing Neopets, and I accidently left my account logged on and when I logged back in the next time, somebody had gotten on and disowned all but one of my pets and given all my money away (I assume to themselves, as they wouldn't have found that I was still logged in if they hadn't tried to play themselves, implying that they have an account) and nicked all my stuff. Which was not fun. I was angry.

And I can't log in anymore to Neopets, which makes me sort of sad. Because I have no idea what year of birth I picked when I signed up because I tend to just pick a random one and not bother trying to find mine.

/Random

Can anybody else access it?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the teachers can. Or, at least, the IT people and the Deputy Principals. In case we break the rules and download porn, or something. Or in case they need to get an assignment if we're sick.

perhaps you still have rights over there.

Y'know, sometimes I wonder...

I'll walk away and it won't have logged me off of email and somebody will smeg up my account

I've done that a few times. I've forgotten to log off my account on the computer and started to leave the classroom, idiot that I am. Lucky for me one of my friends has noticed and logged off for me, though. A lot of the time the teacher will do a quick lap of the room and check to make sure everyone has logged off/shut down.

when I logged back in the next time, somebody had gotten on and disowned all but one of my pets and given all my money away

That sucks. That was always my one fear when playig Neopets. Because I worked so so hard to collect money. Though a friend and I did that to one of our classmates in primary school once. He'd forgotten to log off in the library, so we bought a whole bunch of crap until he had no money left. He was a bit of a prick, if you ask me.

I tend to just pick a random one and not bother trying to find mine.

I always make sure I pick a year that makes me over eighteen, so I can get into the chat rooms without having my parents sign a form or whatever.
Wow, I just realised how long it's been since I played Neopets.

Or, at least, the IT people and the Deputy Principals. In case we break the rules and download porn, or something.

That's what I figured. But do they do it regularly to make sure? Because ours don't, I think. Because I have a couple of text files of fics from years ago still on there that have. . . questionable bits, so I know ours don't have programs that search for key words in your Word files or anything. And I had some audio files for a while that I downloaded, though I think not anymore (which makes me think that maybe they did delete those, because I don't remember getting rid of them myself) on there for a long time.

Or in case they need to get an assignment if we're sick.

Like if you stuck it on there from home and told them to get it off for you? We just email them to the teachers then.

A lot of the time the teacher will do a quick lap of the room and check to make sure everyone has logged off/shut down.

That's nice. We have account things to log onto the computer with that people do that for in classrooms (though if you're in the library, you're on your own) but occasionally the email won't log off even if you log off of the computer, which is unnerving, bits.

Because I worked so so hard to collect money.

Yeah, that was my thing too. I was slightly more pissed then about the disowning of my pets, though, I think. Because I was young like that.

I always make sure I pick a year that makes me over eighteen, so I can get into the chat rooms without having my parents sign a form or whatever.

I didn't mind about the chat rooms, but I always did that too. Problem is I checked the years that would have made me 18/19 back when I would have signed up, and supposedly my info still isn't right. Sadness.
